Publisher's Synopsis

Have you ever watched GARDENERS' WORLD and fantasised about getting your hands dirty like Monty Don? Or perhaps you don't even give a passing glance to the person dusting the office dieffenbachias? Whatever side of the garden fence you're on, prepare to be charmed by these tales of life spent outdoors told by someone who's not afraid to stand out like a sunflower in a row of cabbages. Tamsin Westhorpe's memoir of memorable mishaps whilst making a living with mud permanently under her fingernails will win over any reader. What do you say on live TV when you're asked the best place to put a garden gnome? Is nudist gardening a good idea? And why do the roses surrounding beautifully manicured English lawn bowling greens grow so vigorously? The answers are revealed in this fresh, funny and fearless look at how horticulture can shape a life.
